WIPEOUT XL marks the return of the popular futuristic racer to the PlayStation. Just as in the original game, players must race across crazy tracks while driving hovercraft from the future. On top of the racing action, players need to collect weapons in order to take down their closet competitors. This game introduces the Pit, where any player can stop to regain valuable shield energy. There is also a Two-Player mode, enabling two people to take to the course at the same time and determine who is the superior racer. The music from the first game is gone, but this time around there is licensed music from popular bands like as Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers. Everything in WIPEOUT XL has been updated, with weapons that are even more destructive, music that provides even more of an adrenaline rush, and courses that keep players busy for a long time.
